i wonder how many current Lamborghini model owners have a clue that they started out in the FARM IMPLEMENT business?

what would all you guys say if JOHN DEER started making sports cars?

how much profit is there really in parts for a 30+ old 914/911/356 etc? how long do you guys expect Porsche to actually make parts for something that wasn't designed to last that long for the average consumer? most people buy a new car every 5yrs, so it is not in the mfg's interest to keep making parts till infinity. come on guys use a little common sense here.

be glad that someone like PELICAN'S BBS is here to spout off on and support this free forum by making a profit selling you parts for your obsolete old air cooled cars?

i love my old Porsche and hope to keep it running for many years. but don't expect to be able to find new parts for it forever. I am glad we have such a strong community that can be a great source for those NLA parts out there.

Porsche make a profit selling new products not keeping the old ones running, that is the job for the aftermarket retailers.
